Ken Walker's journey to Nordic PCL Construction is a testament to his diverse experience and unwavering commitment to excellence. A graduate of the University of Washington, Ken's collegiate years were marked by his dual roles as a linebacker and a fullback for the Huskies, demonstrating his versatility and leadership – on and off the field. Upon completing his collegiate career, Ken's dedication and hard work earned him an opportunity to play professionally for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In fact, Ken shared his sports memorabilia and Rose Bowl ring at an NPCL sports-themed event held at the district office.
Following his success in football, Ken jump-started his career as a project manager, where he played a vital role in constructing Littoral Combat Ships and USNS Ammunition Supply Ships for the United States Navy. Leading a construction team aligned with his leadership skills in sports. Delivering projects on-time and schedule required the collaboration of the entire team, driven by passion and inspiration.
However, driven by a desire to return to his roots in Hawaii, Ken joined Nordic PCL Construction in October 2015. With 18 years of construction experience, Ken's expertise spans various market sectors and delivery methods, including hospitality, health care, office, and entertainment. His notable projects include renovations of the Hawaii State Federal Credit Union Headquarters, Consolidated theaters, Straub Medical Center Various Projects, and the Marriott Ko Olina Beach Club Pool Renovation.
Beyond his professional achievements, Ken's dedication to community service shines through as he actively volunteers with organizations such as Child and Family Service, American Heart Association, and CANstruction. He tirelessly contributes his time to Nordic PCL sponsored events inspiring others to participate and contribute. Now, as he and his wife anticipate the arrival of their second child, Ken's journey continues to be one defined by purpose, passion, and a profound commitment to making a difference. Ken truly redefines the MVP model. The most valuable player is not the individual, but the one who makes the most players valuable.
